Sophie’s Ballet Show: A Sparkly Pop-Up Extravaganza!

A girl names Sophie joins Mrs. Darcy’s ballet class in this interactive pop-up book. Readers can watch Sophie practice her five dance steps by pulling on a large tab, which makes the pages of a mini-book rapidly unfold. Another tab makes Sophie leap across the room, a wheel lets her choose different outfits on the evening of the big show, and a string makes Sophie pirouette on a large pop-up stage in the final scene. The friendly cartoon characterizations, interactive enhancements, and overall positivity should encourage budding ballerinas. Ages 3–up. (Apr.)
